"Behind it" - Cai Xukun FF (ip+sk ff)

Chapter 21 - Wrong route

Natalie's POV

I was sitting behind the glass in the investigation room. I stood there not being able to believe that L actually came back like he had promised. What more...I hadn't done much to him. I just had embarrassed him in front of half of a school when I made him fall down to the ground but he stalked me, broke into my house and kicked me few times...I even had bruises on my perfect body. He must have a really strong feeling of revenge...

Xukun had wanted to investigate him but we all disagree taking in consideration his health. He was hurt two days ago and he shouldn't have left the bed and what more the station, yet he had come to rescue me. I had no idea how he had known I was in danger but I was more than thankful for that.

Instead, the boy had to stand next me while Ziyi was taking care of L. Two men were sitting opposite to each other. Ziyi's hands were crossed in front of his chest while L's were lying on the table cuffed.

"Tell me, why did you break into Natalie's house?" Ziyi asked calmly with no emotions on his face as if he was playing poker while L was annoyed by the situation. His leg was moving nervously up and down whereas his eyes wandered around the room.

"Answer my question L. It'll be better for you and for me if you tell me now. Why did you break into her house?" Ziyi repeated the question once more with the same expression but L was sitting still with no will to answer.

"Listen...we caught you so like there's no escape and being silent won't help you. We know you had problems with law earlier so actually...the quieter you are the bigger problems you get yourself into."

L looked at the spy as if he was considering his words. Mixed feelings appeared on his face not being sure what to do. My heart started to race waiting impatiently for the guy to speak up. The tension was unbearable as everyone stared at L as if he was about to spill the biggest government's secret.

"Just for fun," was his dispassionate answer. Face still emotionless, no moves, his eyes glued to Ziyi. My hand was nervously gripping onto Xukun's as I couldn't hold it in. I wanted to know why and who stood behind it all.

"You also followed her just for fun and attacked her in park for fun? You know...for all that you've done I can put you in jail for a really long time just for fun," Ziyi responded with a slight smirk on his face as if L's words and explanation weren't that important.

"You won't. I have my back," he stated calmly and confidently. Confusion could be seen on Irene's and Xukun's faces. Ziyi changed his position and put his arms on the table leaning on it.

"You got your back, huh? Who? Someone powerful, right?" Ziyi questioned but L was sitting quietly. For a moment he looked like he regretted what he had said. I guessed that information was supposed to stay a secret. "This back...do you think you really can trust them?" Ziyi continued. "Do you really think they will help you? Now that you've been caught...you're useless to them. You were just a muppet to scared Natalie, right? That was your job...you weren't told to hurt her physically but mentally."

L played with his fingers under the table nervously.

"Stop it. I won't talk anyway," he declared firmly with his hands and legs shaking under the table.

"Are you worried about your little brother?" Ziyi asked and I looked at him with shock.

What?

"Little brother?" I mumbled under my breath but loud enough for my company to hear.

"He has a younger brother that has been sick since forever actually. He was taken to hospital when he was four years old and since then he has been living there what costs a lot of money...now he is eleven. It's true L is aggressive and has a short temper but not all of the gossips about him were true. He did indeed a lot of bad and illegal things...but he was doing it for his brother. Soonghyun his name is, he can't leave the hospital," Irene said sighing deeply. There was nothing but sadness in her eyes. If I had known earlier...
